How did a journalist shift from covering college education to early literacy? Emily Hanford, Senior Education Correspondent for American Public Media, and host of the podcast Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong, shares her journey of uncovering root causes of how so many children are struggling to read.
Emily Hanford is in conversation with Planet Word board member Stefanie Sanford.
This program is part of an in-depth exploration by Planet Word of beginning reading instruction in America. We explore the renewed focus on “the science of reading” and shed light on the literacy crisis and possible solutions.

Thank you so much for this video! I was absolutely shocked to find out native speakers do have such troubles with reading. I’m an ESL teacher and kids in my county aren’t taught phonics instructions at school at all. How can we expect them to read or speak English without this essential step. That’s the question. Both the podcast and this video are vital and awesome❤ thank you!
I just discovered Sold a Story. It’s really eye opening. No wonder kids get to high school and don’t read well. Let alone comprehension! Poor kids. And they feel dumb. They don’t know it’s a systemic failure. Parents don’t have this information so they can’t advocate for their kids.
